Too high for the Jags? False. They have the draft capital and some cap room to rectify the one spot on the team that you were thinking of eight seconds ago when you read the ranking. Their defense is chock-full o’ talent, from stem to stern […] NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Jacksonville intends to head into 2018 with Blake Bortles as the starter — and that this was the plan regardless of the wrist surgery that could lock in his 2018 contract (which is guaranteed for injury).

Harrison continued by stating he felt Kirk Cousins would be an upgrade at the quarterback position, but money might be the issue. That said, if they roll with Bortles, it appears he thinks they are still capable of being very good.

Harrison showed the Jags love all throughout the regular season of 2017 in his power rankings and is one of the few analysts who understand how truly good they are and what they could be. I don’t think there will be many fans disappointed in Harrison’s rankings which were far more respectable to the Jags than ESPN’s. The Jags came in at the No. 5 spot in their most recent rankings and our readers weren’t too fond of them being placed under the Pittsburgh Steelers, who the Jags defeated twice last season.
